Darth, that's a really stupid argument. "All corporations must have a DUNS" doesn't mean all entities with a DUNS number are corporations.
You're engaging in a Converse Error fallacy here.
All squares are rectangles. → True. All rectangles are squares. → False.
Same pattern:
All corporations have DUNS numbers. X has a DUNS number. Therefore, X is a corporation. → Fallacy.
But more importantly, "Corporation" is a very well defined term with specific legal implications.
A corporation is a specific kind of legal entity created under corporate law. A government is a different kind of legal entity. Having a DUNS number does not make the government a corporation, it just provides a standardized identifier for administrative purposes. The government is a sovereign entity, created by a constitution or statute, with powers that a corporation does not have, such as taxation, law enforcement, and regulation. Governments may create government-owned corporations (also called state-owned enterprises or crown corporations depending on your jurisdiction), but the government itself is not a corporation.
It's perfectly fine for you to have moral qualms about what the government does, that's very good Darth. It's great that you don't like the government. It's not great that you don't understand what a corporation is and what it isn't. Having a DUNS number is not what defines a corporation. And governments are very different from corporations in many ways. Not sure why you're so hung up on this but it just ain't so.
Lastly, I'm not sure if you think that insulting people and constantly saying how fucked up the world is bolsters your argument or if you just enjoy being an asshole, but I just want to let you know that it does not bolster anything, and that you're a proper asshole.
